Powering_eTextiles | Ink-jet printed energy storage devices on textiles: powering the next generation of smart clothing

Summary
The aim of this proposal is to determine the economic and technical feasibility of using readily scalable technologies for the
development of inexpensive and high-performance ink-jet printed, energy storage devices based on two- dimensional
nanosheets for smart wearables and textile-electronics. The realization of gesture control through e-textiles requires highly
integrated sensors, which sets higher requirements for the formation of electrode patterns and power supply. In all these
cases, a power supply is needed - which is usually the bottleneck in the development of smart textiles, since common power
supplies are not flexible and often not lightweight, prohibiting their unobtrusive integration in electronic textiles. The
development of such e-textiles is hugely shadowed by its power supply as a traditional battery is a burden for light,
convenient smart-textiles.
We believe that our combination of unique material properties and cost effective, robust and production-scalable process of
ink-jet printing will enable us to compete for significant global market opportunities in the energy-storage space for e-textiles.
